Hi all. I had an ultrasound today (I was urgent referred on Wednesday for it) and was told today to expect my result within 5 days. Is this a standard wait or is this a bad sign?
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health concerns that have led to you being referred for an urgent ultrasound.
It's understandable that you may have some concerns and questions about what's going on for you and the length of time that you may have to wait for the results. Try not to read anything into how quickly the results are returned to your GP. There are no hard and fast rules about how quickly results are read and returned.
If you don't hear from the hospital within the time frame given, you can always call them to find out what's happening. Hopefully, you will have some news, and reassurance later this week.
Hi Fayrie, Every hospital is different as is every situation. Lots of factors like how straightforward the biopsy is, if it needs more tests (which can again be to confirm/rule out for sure, how busy the lab/clinic is, where about in the country you are etc). Whatever the results the waiting time can be torturous so take 5 days as being good that they will be lessening the waiting time for you.
